AP Chemistry, course and exam

All nine units of the AP Chemistry course — one-to-one and online, with the multiple-choice and free-response sections in view.

What this covers in detail

Unit 1: Atomic Structure and Properties

Moles, mass spectra, electron configuration and periodic trends.

Unit 2: Compound Structure and Properties

Bonding, Lewis structures, and molecular shape.

Unit 3: Properties of Substances and Mixtures

Intermolecular forces, gases, solutions and spectroscopy.

Unit 4: Chemical Reactions

Reaction types, net ionic equations and stoichiometry.

Unit 5: Kinetics

Reaction rates, rate laws and mechanisms.

Unit 6: Thermochemistry

Energy changes, calorimetry and enthalpy.

Unit 7: Equilibrium

Equilibrium constants, Le Châtelier’s principle and solubility.

Unit 8: Acids and Bases

pH, weak acids and bases, buffers and titrations.

Unit 9: Thermodynamics and Electrochemistry

Entropy, Gibbs free energy and electrochemical cells.

AP Chemistry is a first-year college chemistry course taught in high school. It moves quickly, and the later units — equilibrium, acids and bases, thermodynamics — all lean on the early ones. These lessons keep the foundations solid while the course moves on.

What this covers

Equilibrium is the hinge

Units 7 to 9 depend on it. It is taught until it is secure, because the rest of the course rests on it.

Free response, scored properly

Lessons use the published scoring guidelines, so you learn what earns each point.

Lab-based questions

Experimental design and data questions from the required labs are practiced.
